WHEN DON LOVED ME

When Don Loved Me
(a violin, smokey room, you listening to me sing again)

I can't say I miss the time
long ago when you were mine
but I found you fragile then
I needed stronger men when
life was so fragile for me
can't you see? you didn't see.

Handsome you, deep dark eyes
makes me wonder at the lies
oh, I told myself about you
how life with us wouldn't do
when all along I knew better
so I slipped your soft tether

What's done is done--undone
heartbreaking and never fun
in my late admissions today
since I know you're far away
belated, but know this, Don
a part of my heart--you won
